Is it possible to make a direct backup via Ethernet connection from one disc station to another (e.g. from DS1821+ to a second DS1821+) or is it always necessary to use an external switch to connect both disc stations? And which backup solution can I use here?

Question

Accepted Answer

Hello, I have two DS1817+. I have connected both directly to LAN 2 with a network cable. I transfer the backup of the data with the function "Synchronisation of shared folders". I don't know if there is a better option. But I would be interested.

Answer

Personally, I use an external USB hard drive to make my backups and as it compresses a lot, it works very well with the utility supplied with the Synology.
